Keeping teeth white can seem tough when you are brushing and flossing as you should, but aren’t seeing much improvement. This is why Southern Cross Dental of Colorado Springs, CO wants to inform our patients of tips and tricks for keeping a whiter smile.
To get a head start on whiter teeth, schedule a consultation with us for professional whitening. We have both in-office and take-home treatments for your convenience. Our professionally accessed whitening systems are safe and often result in dramatic differences.
To keep stains away at home, brushing your teeth three times per day is ideal. Plaque forms mere hours after brushing. Plaque is a sticky substance that can hold in stain-causing debris if not brushed away. Make sure to floss every day, as well, as plaque and other debris form between teeth, too.
Dark foods and drinks like blueberries, coffee, cola, and soy sauce can discolor teeth. When surface stains penetrate the enamel and darken the dentin, this is what discolors the whole tooth. It is a good idea to rinse your mouth after consuming dark foods and drinks. For dark drinks, using a straw will often let the liquid skip over the front teeth altogether and limits the amount of time the liquid is touching your other teeth.
To find out more tips on keeping white, bright teeth or to schedule a whitening consultation, call Southern Cross Dental of Colorado Springs, CO at (719) 471-1717 or visit our website, www.southerncrossfamilydentistry.com.
